Were you looking for a decorative
concrete or clear
decorative concrete.
If you integrally color your
concrete, what you’re doing is adding pigment to your dry mix. (although
sometimes, for smaller jobs, the color comes in liquid) For larger scale
work, like a deck, the pigment usually comes in bags and is mixed in
with while you mix your cement to create a rather unchanging color from
batch to batch. This method is often used when it comes to stamping your
cement to textures, manipulated by color enhancers that react with the
already existing pigment to brighten it and make for more brilliant
colors overall. Integrally colored concrete gives a good base color to
match whatever stamping you plan to use. This type of pigment is often
referred to as an admixture. They can usually be ordered from
manufacturers bags meant to treat a finite amount of concrete, as many
as you need to get your job done.
